ArgentinaWhat about another one of these threads, but you go through each digit of pi? KEKW
[quote=1]The only time this is really an issue is when people have obsessively large and animated signatures, but you can just disallow multimedia in signatures and problem solved.[/quote]
Don't forget about restricting the length, otherwise people could just put very lengthy copypastas in there and achieve the same result.
[quote=Site Rules]You are permitted to have exactly one account on the site. Alternate accounts will be banned.[/quote]
The rules very explicitly say it's the alternate accounts that get banned, but they never imply that the main account follows the same fate (and from what I've seen, the main account never gets banned).
[quote=Site Rules]You are permitted to have exactly one account on the site. Alternate accounts will be banned.[/quote]
...which is why making a thread about essentially bragging about your own alt accounts doesn't make much sense.
[quote=Viper]That would make the follow feature pointless then, all the farmers would opt-out to avoid other farmers knowing what games they are running.[/quote]
If the only use case for this feature is to follow run farmers and it gets rendered useless just because of being opt-out, I'd say it's an idea not even worth implementing in the first place. That being said, I actually believe it'd still be widely used in other situations, such as to follow your friends on the site and whatnot.
[quote=Tomalla]I've set LiveSplit timers to track RTA with loads and RTA without loads by default.[/quote]
I'm glad that you finally got a solution to your problem, but I have to admit I'm a bit confused by what you mentioned here, since I thought you originally intended to have "RTA without loads + In-game time" and not "RTA with loads + RTA without loads". Did I get it wrong the first time?
@Linux No, that's just a forum signature, which has already been stated earlier in this thread that it's not something we would want here.
[quote=survivalMichi (on Page 5)]The addition of custom flair is essential for the personal expression of the users. It still gives people the option to set pronouns but allows everyone to give a short info about themself. this makes the forum more personal and is a more effective way of doing it than widespread signatures.
Also just replace the full forum with a modern one. with build in keys for quotes etc. And add Forum moderation. thank you.
Also this is extremly relevant (we should seriosly start also quoting reasoning)
and if anyone ask why i dont formate my forum posts, i wont learn it and i wont do it until we get the tools to make it convinient.[/quote]
I believe what's being requested here is something more akin to a replacement/upgrade for the custom pronouns, so that instead of having 3 static options we get a editable field instead, which should be visible on forum posts under your nickname.
[quote=Garsh]This seems to have nothing to do with speedrun.com, your account was created 4 months ago which is only a fraction of the time you are describing.[/quote]
This is his most recent alt account, since he had a few accounts as MrRacingMonster waaaay back in the day. Apparently they were banned, but this was before my time on this site so I have no idea what went on or why that happened.
[quote=ImJustSaiyanBro]do you happen to have a specific game I can look at for example[/quote]
As an example you could take a look at Minecraft Java Edition which has the Any% category divided in 3 sub-categories spanning a variety of versions, since a few versions have changed stuff in the game in a way that made it so runners had to alter their strats very noticeably.
In this case all versions are available to the player, so rather than archiving runs these sub-categories exist merely as a separation and not as an archive. Since DCUO doesn't have the option to revert to any version of your choosing, I think you could still use this method and just have the "old version" sub-category just be frozen (since noone will be able to play that anymore) and show the "new version" sub-category by default.
You could separate sub-categories by version (so, one sub-category for the new version and another for the old version), and in the event you can't opt to run the old faster version the old version sub-category would work as an "archive" of sorts.
Did a major glitch/skip get patched?
Nice update! At least this one is less polarizing than a few previous updates and it aims towards mending mistakes from the past, so I'll give you that.
That being said, here's some things that I think flew under the radar when giving feedback for the last update:
Issues with these photos:
- "Last visited" date for "Followed Games" is shown in local language while the rest is always in english, which is a bit annoying to read (see Photo #1).
- Dates for "Recent Runs" are also shown in local language while the rest of the widget is in english, which is a bit better than point 1 but is still quite the contrast (see Photo #2).
- Dates for "Recent Runs" sometimes show the run as done "Tomorrow", with the cause being that this widget in particular is using the client's local date as reference instead of comparing against UTC or whatever (see Photo #2, first run was done "mañana" = "tomorrow").
- Even if IL runs show up inside the "Recent Runs" widget, I have no way to distinguish which level in particular they belong to, making it a bit confusing. Maybe add an extra column to account for this (or perhaps show this info with a tooltip for the category, with an info icon to show the tooltip is there)?
Minor gripes for sure, but it'd be great to see them fixed.
Anyways, keep up the good work!
[quote=Garsh]There are more Elo staff like Camcorder or lewisandspark, but the two original staff are the only ones that verify game requests and moderate the forums as far as we are aware.[/quote]
@Garsh I think it's important to note that @lewisandspark is no longer affiliated with Elo: https://www.speedrun.com/news/874-2021-8-13-community-update-data-migration-and-community-manager
[quote=Site News]Next, we have some news to share.
LewisAndSpark has decided to move on from Elo. We are grateful for all of their insights and passion in advocating for the speedrunning community. Their hard work and dedication have helped lay a solid foundation for the future of Speedrun.com.
We know LewisAndSpark will continue to do great things in future opportunities and wish them all the best![/quote]
[quote=weedvoir]MrMonsh You said "good", but in this case it's "favorite", it's a little different I guess.[/quote]
I certainly said the other thread has great recommendations, but they're both aimed at sharing "favorite" songs.
I don't mean to be "that" guy, but we kinda already have a thread for this. Certainly has a lot of great recommendations!
